Good morning, Frederick.

Finksburg mourns the loss of Nathan Lapp, a 19-year-old HVAC technician and Westminster High School graduate who died on March 26; his family (parents and two younger brothers) and community have rallied with a GoFundMe campaign that exceeded its goal to help cover funeral costs.

McCormick and Company will acquire Unilever Foods for nearly $45 billion, merging brands like Hellmann's and Knorr to form a combined flavor leader.

The merger is set to close by mid-2027 and is expected to save about $600 million annually while maintaining headquarters in Hunt Valley (Maryland).

Brass & Copper Polishing Shop is closing after decades in service, having been passed from father Thomas to Don Reedy after his 1974 high school graduation.

The local business has long served the community and now marks the end of an enduring tradition.
